TIM DILLON (HOST): Iran right now has shown a tremendous ability to withstand the onslaught of the US and Israel without their regime collapsing. And they've shown an amazing ability to hit US bases and US interests and US allies. And it's amazed a lot of people. And Iran has no real reason to negotiate, right? All the, you know, at the end of the day, Iran's like, we were attacked. Now, obviously they have the obvious reason that nobody wants to be in a war, but they were attacked. And many people say that they kind of have the upper hand at the moment because what is winning even look like? We're not going to have a new regime. We're not going to put hundreds of thousands of boots on the ground and get a lot of people killed. So there's no clearly defined mission. We got into something without any plan or idea of what it would look like.

Again, these are statements made by the secretary of state kind of by the president of the United States. These are not, you know, the national counter intelligence. I'm sorry the national intelligence, the deputy director just resigned and said this. Now, you know, listen, Joe Kent's probably trying to be the VP or the president. He has political reasons to say what he's saying, but I don't know. It doesn't, is he making all of this up? Is it completely fabricated? And if it is, bring charges against him. I mean, we're in the middle of a war. If he's completely making all of it up, no. It seems pretty obvious we got hosed a little bit.

It's pretty hard to argue that this isn't a death knell for whatever that Trump coalition was trying to do, whatever deep state nonsense they were talking about coming on the heels of the Epstein list, which they won't release the other half of, and then kind of getting in, getting into this war. You know, any idea that this was a group of people committed to any type of transparency or, it's laughable. It's laughable if you have if you have any kind of brain, which many of you don't.
